Bally 5500 Buttons

How do you get the small buttons out of a 5500?  I was able to remove the larger buttons by unscrewing the plastic nut but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the small guys.

are you saying they don't have a plastic nut?

I don't think so.  It appears to be a square plastic molded piece on the backside of the switch.   The larger buttons had a regular plastic nut on it.

I may be wrong if that square piece is a nut.   I tried to loosen but didn't want to force anything.

there isn't any nut under the square spacer??

Let me look... brb

I found the nut!   I didn't notice it because the nut comes flush with the bottom of the switch.   I was able to remove them without even using a tool.


thanks

Now to find out how to remove the BV and cash can.

I knew you would figure it out if I prodded you a little.  I got the ebay item today also, thanks, I'll leave positive feedback now.

Thanks,

Great Wayne!  I was thinking about that this morning  - will you paint that with high gloss silver paint?

[a69mopar]

no, I won't paint it, I will have it rechromed.  I left feedback.

Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks!

How do you rechrome something?  Sounds great.

It's plating, what do you think? There are companiies that will do everthing from car bumpers down to small gun parts. Here is a link to a thread on the discussion and a link to a home electroplating kit, but commercial dip plating is much more durable for like a slot door.
